Fo,heringhanl.s Case.

ST. Louis. May 4.-The trial of the
express messenger, David S. Fotheringham,
was resumed in the criminal court to-day.
Conductor Spengle was recalled, and testi-
fled that the messenger was tied to stay,
and when he was released his limbs were
numb. He said that Fotheringham told
him that he heard the knocking at the
door when the train stopped at Mineke,
and did not respond because at that time
the robber covered him with a revolver.
The defense brought out the fact that the
messenger was compelled to accept a
passenger in the express car when on orders
of superiors. The condu ctors testimony
showed that the robbery was not COM
mitted in the city, and the defense moved
that the case be thrown out of court Judge
Normille gave, as his opinion, that the rob-
berry did not occur in this city. and conSe-
Quently it was out of the jurisdiction of
his court, and accordingly dismissed the
case. The case will now be carried to St.
Louis county.
